BIG NEWS!!
Nessa got married on December 6 to John Miller!! (see wedding pics)
Vanea is expecting a baby in January 2009!! (see wedding pics)

A rare moment with all the family together.
The Montenegro family is made up of 6 people - Ricardo (Dad), Patricia (Mom), Ravi (Son), Nessa, Alita, and Vanea (Daughters) - and has included every kind of pet imaginable over the years (a horse, goats, dogs, cats, lizards, birds, rabbits). Over the last 35 years we have lived in nearly a dozen homes, scattered between Northern California (Mendocino and Redding), Southern California (many cities around LA), and Minnesota.


At the current time Ricardo, Patricia, and Nessa live in Redding, with Vanea dropping by during vacations. Alita and Ravi have preferred big cities (LA & Boston)


Our son, Ravi, is currently an Assistant Professor in Mathematics at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (near Boston). He has moved around quite a bit, and in the last 10 years has lived in Connecticut, Osaka (Japan), Atlanta and now Boston.


Our eldest daughter, Nessa, is a nurse in Redding, after graduating from Nursing School at BIOLA University. She seems to be enjoying her life, having even bought her own house, and is now married to John Miller.


The middle daughter, Alita, is living and working in Orange County, near LA. She has always had the best fashion sense in the family, and even used to try to get her brother Ravi to wear cool clothes (a hopeless endeavor). When not busy at work she enjoys taking care of her boyfriend Troy's kids.


The youngest daughter, Vanea, is graduated from Azusa Pacific University in Dec '09 and now lives in Redding with her husband Daniel. She spent a semester at Oxford, in England, eating fish and chips (maybe), rowing in crew (yes, it's true) and even worked in her college pub!

And of course, we can't forget Rico and Patty, the Montenegro Family parents!

Rico has been doing consulting for horticulture and environmental issues in Northern California, and recently started working for the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation.

Patty is enjoying life now that the kids have all moved out.
